Steel Continuous Casting Machines:
Continuous casting is a metalworking process in which metal is cast continuously, rather than being cast in discrete moulds. This process is extremely efficient and cost effective, making it popular for the production of a variety of semifinished metal shapes. Once cast, the metal can be further worked as needed.
Rounds, slabs, beams, and various cross-sections can be created with continuous casting machines.
